My first day of work
Today was my first day of work at LAC. I finally met the people with whom I had been exchanging emails over the past couple months. Everyone is so kind and friendly. Most of the staff is crowded into small office spaces with limited air-conditioning. The office hours are from 7:30 AM to 12:30 PM, and from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM. The extended lunchbreak provides some relief from the heat.
Yok Hiep, the head of the General Practice Unit, provided me with a great deal of material on human trafficking issues. She also provided me with contact information of people at other NGOs who will be able to guide me through my research project. I will be attending a meeting on trafficking sponsored by World Vision tomorrow afternoon. I'm really excited about my research project, and the LAC staff seems very excited to help me with my research.
Tomorrow morning the interns (there are four of us from different law schools in the US and Canada) are going to watch a LAC lawyer argue cases before the Cambodian Supreme Court and the Cambodian Appellate Court. I'm really excited. On Wednesday, Cambodia celebrates International Children's Day, and one of the LAC staffers invited us to join a celebration sponsored by various NGOs in Cambodia. He brought t-shirts and hats exhorting International Children's Day for us to wear while we are "marching"(none of us really understand what we will be doing, but be assured that I will keep you all updated.)
The energy and enthusiasm at LAC is infectious. This country is so vibrant, and the people are so remarkable. I am so happy to be here.
